These guys.

These guys know how to connect with you about Boston sports.

This may feel strong, but you people are stupid.

Oh, M.G.

It's Felger and Mazz.

Ninety-five the Sports Hub.

Felger and Mazz 985 of Sports Hub, Cibylcast, NBC Sports, Boston.

Mike and Tony are out.

The summer of a thousand days off continues.

You have me, Jim Murray, and the Felger chair.

We have Ted Johnson in the Maz chair, Marshall Hook in my normal spot with the updates and chiming in. And you, the people, at 617779-0985 on an agenda-free Friday, which, of course, is brought to you by Bernardi Auto Group. Yes, driven by the Bernardi Auto Group. Let's go to Mike and Salisbury on Mookie Betts, who, according to John Morosi, MLB Network, the Red Sox are going to take calls on him. I'm sure there will be many interested parties for the one-time MVP. Mike, you're next here on Philgren-Mass. Hey. How are we doing, gentlemen? Good, what's up? I'm good as well. So, yeah, as far as Mookie, I mean, I feel like even compared to the last few years, this year, you were, earlier you were naming off a list of people who just haven't really had their

game, their head in it or their heart in it.

And,

yeah,

I think he's definitely on the list.

I don't think he's a shell of a player of what he was,

but definitely just isn't what he was.

I won't look at Brady as far as Brady any differently if he does leave because he's

the greatest for all time and I don't really care.

All right, Mike, I'll leave you to that one thing on Mookie Betts.

So if you didn't know what I was talking about earlier, Betts, sources within the industry

believe that the Red Sox will be listening to trade offers for him this winter. This according to MLB Network's John Marosi, and he floated the Atlanta Braves as a possible suitor in the bets trade sweepstakes because of their young talent. I've just, I felt like for a while and maybe it's the influence of Maz and sitting in the baseball reporters on a night-to-night basis. Like I believe it, like that he doesn want to be here long-term. And so they have to maximize that asset. And when this season truly looked lost early, I was like, okay, maybe be sellers, take some calls on him. But you can maximize it at its best, him as an asset at its best in the winter. And so they should. Like, if they know deep down, if they put a contract offer in front of him, that's somewhat close to Mike Trout. And he still says, no, then you know he doesn't want to be here long term. And I think they've already tried to do that. So you take those calls. You need to replenish this barren farm system of yours and try to get some pitching going forward because this is going to be a different looking team next year. Yeah, you're right. It's almost like they've kind of, they've already tested whether or not he wants to be here.
